I've got a KX3 and a K3 - I want to share an antenna between the two radios. I
do this now by manually detaching the coax from one and connecting it to the
other. Are there any quality coax switches on the market that have adequate
isolation between ports that I could use for this purpose?
I haven’t had this problem. However, in addition to Igor’s thoughts on a high

hardware. Yes, the KX3 does have knobs which are used to pass
parameters to the firmware - the computer is inside the KX3 and no

Actually, a full SDR would have modulation and demod running in the
host software. A KX3 is self-contained in this regard, but can be
used with a PC or Mac for CW, RTTY, data modes, etc.
Signal processing capabilties are excellent on the KX3, and the array
of DSP features is both wide and deep.
